<p> Hi exilepanda </p>
<p> I was looking for good GUI interface for perl and I was also looking with same requirement as you. I need a good GUI editor and i will only write code for events not for GUI elements. </p>
<p> Basically i was looking similar to Visualbasic in Visual studio. </p>
<p> Tk was fine but it was old and Tkx do not have very good editor etc etc etc research and perl Gtk2 very well suited for me. </p>
<p> You can use Glade GUI editor tool and create a GUI in IDE, store it as XML file and load from your perl program. According to me this is as easy as VB </p>
<p> one major issue with perl GTK2 is there is very less documentation about it , So i always used python Gtk2 doc to know about the API and code in perl </p>
<p> I have also started a perl GTK2 based open source project just to show the power and easiness of perl GTK2 & glade GUI editor <p>
<p> You can take a look at the code and get information about perl GTK2 based development. <p>
<p>
Read development environment setup here:

</p>
<p> Downloadcode here: <code> http://code.google.com/p/saaral-soft-search-spider/downloads/detail?name=search-spider-1.2.zip </code></p>
<p> Note: Gtk2 runtime , Glade IDE is available in binary form for windows also. I use it in Windows 7 without issues. Perl Gtk2 and other related modules available for ActivePerl 5.12 via http://www. sisyphusion.tk/ppm/ repository. </p>
<p> Installing these modules is like piece of cake eating. Big thanks to Syphilis (perl Monk) to make these modules available to perl world </p>
<p> Final Note: I tried Active State perl app to bundle perl Gtk2 application which works like charm. No problems </p>
